Bloody Alloys!

Rudders666 · 06-07-2007, 02:20 PM

It doesn't seem to matter where i look, all alloys cost the earth, i think it's ridiculous for something with no moving parts to cost so damn much that they're nigh on inobtainable to general folk.

I looked round a few breakers on the t'internet but for 18's they were asking like £700-£900. From a breakers???? That's a damn joke surely!!

Still searching though, it seems i may be searching for some new ones some time in the near future and hitting the old credit card up for them, not a great deal of choice in this market is there?

Just a little moan really, ignore me, lol, unless you have any top tips or shops to get them from reasonably priced.

Cheers kids,

If you'll settle for smaller and normal looking ones then Im sure they would be a lot cheaper! The old addage seems to fit this scenario - you get what you pay for!

tell me about it. It's just that they're way over priced for that they are anyway

I think they are overprized but they cost more around hear when all the taxes have been put on them and the sellers allways sell them a little bit higher than would be enough to keep them running. They buy them expensive and then come the taxes and then the thing the sellers put on them wich is sllways high

What style and pcd are you looking for I might be able to help you here as I have a friend with a new set of 18s that have never been fitted I think he is asking around the £3/350 mark and they cost him £850
